Updated SFWA Markets Acceptance Rates

It's been about 9 months since I posted my list from The Grinder of SFWA-qualified short fiction markets' acceptance rates, which mean this is probably a good enough time for an update.  Again, this is based on the previous twelve months (from today) and excludes markets The Grinder had listed as closed and those with sample sizes fewer than 5.

It looks like things have stayed pretty similar to how they were 9 months ago, with Nature, DSF, AE, Cricket, and Beneath Ceaseless Skies shuffling a little but staying toward the top.  Escape Pod and Apex jumped up quite a few places, but Grantville Gazette: Universe Annex plunged to the middle and Strange Horizons, Buzzy Mag, Clarkesworld, and WotF stayed in the single digits or lower, with Cicada still at the bottom.
